I guess if you find a limit on a guitar, just add more guitars to the guitar.

That was impressive, but for the most part, his hands are mirroring each other. The rhythm is the same in both hands.

I've always found Stanley Jordan to be very skilled (jazz, not rock.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeooHiX4oH0
Start about a minute in - definitely sounds like 2 guitars. And, 4 or 5 minutes in, he's playing two different guitars, with two different rhythms.

And when two hands and two guitars aren't enough, hit that b note with your chin.

edit edit: And "jamming" with Les Paul. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2zOLAaYYJM (This is just nice to listen to.)

You're not wrong. A guitar has a certain range, but it's mathematically laid out in standard tuning to cover as wide of range as possible. Jazz players pretty much test the limits of what a guitar's chord combinations can do, but in western music, it covers most of the bases.

This (is more along the lines of what I was thinking).
